Well Stars fans, we came so far. It sucks not to be writing about the Stars forcing a game 7 or better still that the Stars are the 2020 Stanley Cup Champions, but what a job we did to get this far.

The show must go on! 2 more wins
Corey Perry gets the first and last goals of the game and that is just what the Stars needed to extend this series. Pavelski with the other Stars goal showing just how important those two additions are to the Stars who prove themselves yet again.
It’s not over yet!
The Dallas Stars fail to tie the series at 2-2 in an overtime loss. Once again we can focus on negatives and rule this team out at a chance to win the cup. Bad calls, bad power play, bad last & first minute of the period goals, bad penalty kill… there is a lot we can focus on and get upset about.
Well that escalated quickly… 2-1 Tampa
It felt like the Stars did very little wrong in the first period of game 3, they opportunities that should have given them the lead but couldn’t convert, then 2 mistakes by Stars top D-men, first Miro looses the puck and it’s 1-0 Tampa Bay, then a missed hit by Lindell sees the Stars down by 2.
Stars fail to win special teams battle, series tied
In my view, a good day at the office, just not the right result. Too many penalties in the first, the officiating did not seem consistent throughout the game, but throughout the periods yes. Everything called in the first, most calls were made in the second and everything goes in the 3rd, but regardless, the Lightning managed to capitalize on their chances and it gave them an early 2-0 lead.
Strong defense gives Stars a 1-0 series lead
The Dallas Stars actually scored 5 goals in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals, only 1 of them was a deflection into their own net, so the final score was 4-1 Stars.
STARS WIN and advance to the Stanley Cup Finals!
Dallas scores 3 unanswered goals after falling 2-0 in game 5 of the Western Conference Finals to eliminate the Vegas Golden Knights and move on to the Stanley Cup Finals where they will face either the Tampa Bay Lightning or the New York Islanders.
Stars hold off Knights and extend series lead
Khudobin seemed the only Stars player who knew what time the game started tonight! A painful first period to watch as the Stars looked a step behind the Knights at all times, that combined with what felt once again like the puck just wouldn’t stick to our players as it bounced over our sticks and fed the Vegas Golden Knights opportunity after oppertunity!
Stars take back series lead in Game 3 OT Win
A strong start for the Stars and Knights saw the first period finish 0-0, Dallas came out strong in the second and were by far the better team and it eventually paid of with a last minute goal by Oleksiak. The 3rd period was a lot more open and back and forth, Vegas with more possession, shots and chances, but the Stars after giving up the lead twice got to overtime and Radulov found space and gives the Stars a 2-1 series lead in a 3-2 Stars win.
Vegas fights back, Stars have no answer
With the Stars shutting out Vegas in game 1, both teams are showing how good they can be in net and defensively in a now tied 1-1 series.
